Puppeteer / Actress for the Sesame Workshop

*The puppeteer/actress will need to be able to work with a TV monitor. It is a pretty specific skill to be able to work with a monitor (like a weatherman…backward). She will need to be able to keep her own head out of the frame.
*The actress must sing (Lead sheets and CD’s with track to be provided. Scripts/sides will be provided.
*The Daisy puppet will be here, in my office, for auditions.

Character Breakdown:
DAISY (working name) is a wide-eyed and innocent who has a very real and endearingly vulnerable quality.
DAISY is a fairy godchild, a tiny two-ish to three-year old girl. She asks questions all the time and is truly astounded by the world around her. She is a toddler with some precocious vocabulary and she loves to rhyme.
She is from another world – a tiny immigrant from Fairyland who brings to Sesame Street a little breeze of her own culture. She takes Big Bird for a giant. She thinks Oscar is an enchanted prince and keeps kissing him. DAISY is a pretty little girl; she has tiny wings and a wand that she’s learning to use.
